MC14538B/D Dual Precision Retriggerable/Resettable Monostable Multivibrator
The MC14538B is a dual, retriggerable, resettable monostable multivibrator that can be triggered on either edge of an input pulse. Output pulse width is set by external timing components Rx and Cx and can range from 10 µs to 10 s.
The document provides electrical and switching characteristics, maximum ratings, package dimensions, and application notes such as trigger operation, retrigger behavior, and power‑down considerations. Ordering information and package options are also listed.
